"Bhutan has a a rich and unique cultural heritage. With it's deeply rooted Bhuddihst heritgage and the largely untouched natural environment,
Bhutan is often regarded as The Last Shangri-la. Trekking in the Chomolhari region provides a wonderful opportunity to experience Bhutan's culture
and environment. The Chomolhari mountain is sacred to local Buddhists who make an annual pilgrimage from Phari Dzong to the holy lake of Chomo
Lharang at 5100 m just north of the mountain.
Chomolhari Trek - Trekking in Bhutan

Chomolhari Trek gifts you with a great variety of landscapes in Bhutan and is without doubt one of the most beautiful and unspoiled trekking areas
in the entire Himalayas. The Chomolhari trek begins at Drugyal Dzong passing through beautiful villages, scattered hamlets and farmland. Different
vegetation from richly forested valley to high alpine pastureland where Yak herders graze their animals. Trout fishing in the sky blue lake with
magnificent view of three majestic peaks is some activities which can be done on a rest day. You will encounter rare species like the blue sheep
and if lucky, the snow leopard.
GRADE C (Moderate to Strenuous): Chomolhari Trek - Trekking in Bhutan is a 8 days moderate to strenuous trekking with a maximum elevation of 4,950 m. 11 nights hotel accommodations and 7 nights camping.
